Hello to all. After an exciting week of a failed hard drive (/usr, /home, /var) killing the IDE port on the motherboard, I've finally got my gentoo box running again. Thank gawd for backups (/home, /var, /etc and all data).
I finished the 'emerge -e world', but have a couple issues. First, when issuing the 'su' command, I enter the password and then get [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ su - Password: configuration error - unknown item 'FAILLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'LASTLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_ROOTPATH' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify administrator) configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator) root ~ $ As you can see, I still get the root shell, but I'd like to get rid of the errors. I know these 'items' are all in /etc/login.defs, but I don't know how to get pam-login to play nice. I've seen other questions answered with changes to baselayout and/or bash, so I re-emerged both of these. No change. Secondly, I've got a cron that updates nightly and mails me the results. One of the lines is diff-eix /var/cache/eix.old | Mail -s "New packages on $(hostname)" root The part I can't figure out is the 'Mail' command. Even after emerging world, I have no 'Mail' on my system. In fact, I have no 'mail' either. What I have in my world file is root ~ $ grep -i mail /var/lib/portage/world mail-filter/procmail mail-client/mailx-support mail-filter/spamassassin net-mail/fetchmail mail-mta/postfix I can get mail from the roadrunner stmp server without any problem, but have an issue with local mail. This worked for months, so I know I'm just forgetting something I did a long time ago. Any idea what I need to emerge, or where the solution may lie? Thanks. And backup tonight! Peter -- Psychology.
